It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Damn, reaching back into the 'aw somebody hurt your feefees' level of response, despite no actual textual indication that feelings were hurt. Idk why I'd expect anything more, but this is some old-school shit.

You can take the lib out of reddit, but you can't take reddit out of the lib

smuglord

Apparently your feelings were hurt enough to report him.

Hey, since they came in here (~~which I honestly commend them for doing~~ edit, nm, I take that back, they didn't come in good faith but with a sarcastic "your feelings hurt, poor baby?" sneering insult.) someone explain to this brave antiauthoritarian lib that all governments, capitalist and communist and any other form will always use "authoritarianism," (which Nakoichi never said otherwise from what I could see). But that unless you're like a factory owner, landleech, CEO of a tech or oil conglomerate, or otherwise a member of the class that rules as part of the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie, then a state using its authority to prevent those leeches from exploiting you, a state using it's authority to maintain a society where people are free to not worry about having to be homeless or starve to death in abject poverty is a good thing, actually.

To their credit, the ringwraithfish seems to understand the first part, but the rest of it, the most important parts, seems completely lost on them. Too wrapped up, I suspect, in their insistence on hating those "redfash tankies" to realize they're just parroting and carrying water for the worst authoritarian imperialists on the planet.

We love it, folks

[–] Egon@hexbear.net 8 points 5 months ago

When people mention "tankie", "authoritarian" or "totalitarian" I always ask them to define what it means without using either of the other words. They're never able to.
I ask them that because any actual definition just describes a state doing stuff.

Person who's feelings were hurt on the internet: "Aww, did some random stranger on the internet hurt your feelings?"
